Nearly half of the US public wants President George W. Bush to face impeachment, and even more favor that fate for Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a poll out Friday.

The survey by the American Research Group found that 45 percent support the US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against Bush, with 46 percent opposed, and a 54-40 split in favor when it comes to Cheney.

In another thread I mentioned how Andrew Sullivan, and Anna Marie Cox both found that at the worst time for Clinton during his impeachment rigamorole the most public support for his impeachment was 26%. At most 36% wanted hearings on the matter. Now 46% of us want the fuckwad bush gone, and that’s a fact Jack!

I heard a speech by Judge Jones, the decider in the Dover v. Kitzmiller case last night. He used an anecdote wherein during the Soviet rule of Russia, a judge was visiting Justice Souter, and they got into a discussion of what the most important decision by the Court during the 1900s was. Souter said he thought Brown v. Board of Education, and the Russian said no, it was the US v. Nixon, because that showed clearly to everyone that the president was not above the law in the United States.
